I wanna hold her wanna hold her tight.

We were asked to produce a temporary installation in the newly refurbished Eden Court.

To combine our love for stencil art and music we decided to create "Teenage Kicks".

The installation included 22 LP’s mounted on the wall (as a rather large DUFI!), as well as a living room opposite (yes that is right, we created your gran's front room in the lobby of Eden Court), which included an record player, an 80's medical handbook (our instructions) and the school jotter (our visitors book).



Three of the records were spray painted, the other 19 were removable and could be played on the retro record player.

Now we would love to say that we grew up listening to early hip hop and alternative music, but the truth is it was a whole lot uglier than that.



The albums included in this collection were as follows:

Elvis – The U.S. Male (1970)
The Sound Of Music (1965)
A-ha – Hunting High & Low (1985)
Michael Jackson – Bad (1987)
The Family Brown – The Best Of Country Gospel (1978)
Nana Mouskouri – Alone (1985)
Simon & Garfunkel – Greatest Hits (1972)
Runrig – Heartland (1985)
Holst – The Planets (1981)
Blondie – Eat To The Beat (1979)
Dayuma – From The Stage Production (unknown)
Def Leppard – Hysteria (1987)
Scottish Metrical Psalms (1966)
Rush – The Spirit Of Radio (1980)
Dire Straits – Brothers In Arms (1985)
Deacon Blue – When The World Knows Your Name (1989)
Hits 5 (1986)
The Great Johnny Cash (1970)
Country & Western Jamboree (unknown)
Marillion – Misplaced Childhood (1985)
U2 – The Joshua Tree (1987)
Disneyland Christmas Carols (unknown)

Got ma nuts from a hippy.

Inverness is getting all holier than thou! The great artist Matt Baker has recently completed leading a team in the installation of the Three Virtues on Church Street in Inverness. The artwork was created after a year long process with local people suggesting ‘Virtues’ for 21st Century Inverness.

To help mark the launch (on 6 March) several artists were asked to create installations in the shop windows surrounding the virtues. As part of this, we created a two week long narrative in the shop front of a empty shop unit.

But do not fear, with DUFI the surreal is always near. We decided to characterise the virtues and ended up writing our own fable of the forest. The story was written in instalments, on the shop window, over the two weeks leading up to the event. And yes, the animals are real - but as exciting as all this was, I am sure they all felt a lot friskier before they were stuffed! (However, the badger seems to be a somewhat more sociable creature then we all expected – he now has his own bebo page).

Thanks to Inverness Museum for lending us the critters.
